Saykri-TEEKTUS/kɹɪˈtikt/UK · AUS/kɹɪˈtiːkt/
- 1Simple past and past participle of critique.
The committee critiqued the proposal in detail before approving the budget.

Note
One spelling serves for both the past tense and the participle: the committee critiqued the plan, the plan was critiqued, reviewers have critiqued it. The final e of critique simply takes a -d, so the -que ending stays intact. The verb means both "to review" and "to criticize," so a critiqued manuscript has been assessed but not necessarily faulted. The context, not the form, shows how harsh the verdict was.
